I am a native Houstonian and life long conservative Republican. With over 25 years experience in probate, guardianship, estate planning, trust and elder law, I have developed a reputation for handling the matters entrusted to me with diligence and integrity. I have often represented administrators, executors, guardians, trustees and beneficiaries in complex probate proceedings, and recovered assets lost through fraud and breach of fiduciary duty. My successes include recovery of millions of dollars. Over the years, I have also been appointed by probate judges as administrator, guardian and ad litem to handle both contested and uncontested probate matters.
I am licensed to practice in all Courts in the State of Texas, the United States District Court (Southern District), the United States Court of Appeals (5th Circuit), and the United States Tax Court.
I served two terms as a member of the District 4A grievance committee (which disciplines attorneys) and served as chair in 1994. I am a member of the State Bar of Texas Real Estate, Probate and Trust Section, Taxation Section and Litigation Section and the Houston Bar Association Probate, Trusts and Estate Section, Taxation Section and Litigation Section. I also belong to the Houston Business and Estate Planning Council and the Houston Estate and Financial Forum.
I received my JD from the University of Houston in 1981, and a BBA (1977 - accounting) and MBA (1980 - accounting/taxation) from the University of Texas.
I welcome the opportunity to earn your trust and support.
